SALT YEARS
15 Years of work in the Dead Sea,
A new book for artist Sigalit Landau
After 15 years of creating art in the Dead Sea and more than two years of writing, editing, design, and photography
photographic work from the last 15 years are collected in this in-depth publication to be seen together for the first time. Texts, photographs of new installations and documentation of the process in the Dead Sea were especially written and created. Inspired by the topographical, historical, cultural and environmental realms of the Dead Sea;‘Sigalit Landau: SALT YEARS’ invites us to embark on a personal artistic voyage. Marking Landau 15-year oeuvre and fascination with the Dead Sea, ‘Sigalit Landau: SALT YEARS’ sheds new light on the fundamental leitmotiv that underlies her multifaceted artistic creation. Offering insights to the artist's visions, this volume explores Landaus career reflecting the breadth of her oeuvre. The book is an invitation to take part in the transformative power of art and Landaus transformation of the Dead Sea into a laboratory and medium for new experiments, ideas and heart/ground breaking understandings, revealing the death-bearing to life sustaining alchemy of salt.
Born in Jerusalem in 1969, Sigalit Landau is an interdisciplinary artist who works with installation, video, photography and sculpture. One could say Landaus varied ? uvre is auto-bio-topo-graphical in as much as it deals with writing (graph), of life (bio), in a locale (topos), and writing of a locale in life. While rooted in the realm of the reality, her work carries a larger weight, exploring the transformations of the cold, hard facts of the world into beautiful, often formidable, yet tender work.
“The works which I make in the Dead Sea relates to history, found everyday objects and the body. Considering the scope of the experiences and achievements – A book is the best way to collect and to share this project. To “crystallize” a part of my story with new texts and images, archival and recent documentation.” Sigalit Landau
